Meriken Park is a nice waterfront park in Kobe's port area. The park was devastated by the 1995 earthquake, but has now become a popular spot for locals and tourists again.
A small memorial in the park commemorates the many lives lost in the port area due to the earthquake. It includes a short, damaged waterfront section which has been preserved as a reminder of the earthquake's tremendous, destructive power.
Other attractions in Meriken Park include the Kobe Port Tower, a symbol of the city, and the Kobe Maritime Museum.
